Ive tried to talk the local tractor club into letting me hook up to their sled but no good so far. Im waiting to see if i can get my grandfathers JD Model 40 its already setup for sled pulling.

I used to watch the truck and tractor pulls at the Madison county fair, it was always a good show. I haven't been able to go the last several years.

I was a couple bucks away from getting into the diesel truck classes that ran in my buddies tractor pulling association. I found driving my buddies tractor more enjoyable however!

Did you have questions about it? Or just a nice convo starter?

At least in drag racing, We are moving pretty fast and feeling G's :D. And we can resell our cars resonably.
And Who doesnt like the smell of alcohol or Nitro-methane.

Your truck doesn't have a hitch receiver to just use a clevis?
